Heavy Roller is a stallion satisfied with his life as a single father of Scootaloo, one of the most energetic pegasus fillies in Ponyville.
But when a strong-arming businesspony named Stone Wall tries to force him to work for him by threatening to ruin his dead wife's reputation and use Heavy's own checkered past to get him declared an unfit parent, what can one pony do to keep his daughter?
Lucky for him a certain school teacher with a checkered past of her own and some of her friends might just have the talents to help him:
Cheerilee - Elementary school teacher, ex-party mare and partially reformed retrieval expert.
Big Macintosh - Full-time farmer, part-time bounty hunter and combat specialist.
Filthy Rich - Prominent Ponyville business stallion skilled in negotiation and manipulation.
Notary - Former personal assistant to a corrupt Canterlot noble and unparalleled information broker.
Together they will head down to Manehatten and just maybe they can get the one thing Heavy needs to get the Stone off his back:
Leverage.

AWESOME!
Is this actually a Lunaverse story or not? Because I think it should be.

Basically this isn't firmly set in either the Maneverse or the Lunaverse. We're leaving up to the reader to decide which verse it's set in.
So while some parts were definitely inspired by the Lunaverse, you don't need to know the Lunaverse in order to be able to read or enjoy this story.
Not gotta lie would have been a lot cooler if she said the entire thing.
Goody. Cheerilee's Four........
Love the character introductions and Scootaloo on her way to getting a cutie mark in blowing stuff up! Although I don't think Diamond Tiara will be very happy about missing the chance for Scoots to stay at her house for a week if she's the L-verse Tiara.

Fair call, I've gone back and reworked it.
Holy hot
! instant Favorite! :) I really enjoyed Leverage when the show was running and now this. I look forward to seeing where you go with this 
best of luck.
wow. I didn't think people cared for good old Heavy Roller anymore....

Actually, it's gonna be five

Right now, all I'm pushing for is to tell a good story.

I hope to deliver on this vote of confidence.
Thank you

I just think that since Scootaloo doesn't get that much attention, there isn't as much reason to use the him. Still I really do like him and I think the idea of an earth pony trying to raise a pegasus filly as lively as has a lot of story telling potential.

Regardless of their interaction I wouldn't be lying if I said I shared Heavy Rollers fears about letting Scootaloo loose in a place filled with so many fragile things, 
Glad you like it
5543363 The fifth, I assume, is someone they meet in the City.
Nice. I'm looking forward to how you mix Leverage and MLP. It's interesting to note that for their decidedly different worlds, they share a common point of a more black/white morality. Ironically, considering the protagonists are the criminals.
"glaring" Can't believe I missed such an error right at the end ugh

I will admit that is true, it was actually almost surprising how well the two worlds fit together.
Thanks,
found and fixed, thanks for the heads up

That's why I was so surprised to see there hadn't been any crossovers like this before now! Then again, maybe I didn't look hard enough back when. I was so into it that i even thought up ponified designs for the Leverage cast (Parker is definitely a batpony) haha. Maybe your fic will spur on a new age of Leverage appreciation.
Thanks for that! :)
Now that they've got the team together, it's time to remove the obstacle.
i love this.
Fun fact: Trigger Happy had originally worked for the Royal Guard Armoury but was let go for misusing armoury resources, making unauthorised creations and being "overly enthusiastic" in her job.
Great chapter, Zap.
I'd imagine you need some good neck strength to reload a crossbow by bobbing your head, I guess the low powered darts help.

Pony warriors apparently swing around broadswords with their mouths and attach heavy maces to their tails.
MLP ponies are alot more robust than most people seem to give them credit for.
Update? Please? :-) Really enjoying this story so far.
I'm starting to like this story more and more.
Beautiful. This is really turning out to be a fantastic caper story.
Some really good action and sneaking scenes here.
Nice, liked the break in plan, certainly played to all of their talents, particularly Big Mac's
This is getting really interesting! Love how the team raided Stone Wall's office, especially all of Cheerilee's ninja-style goofiness.
One thing I did notice was that Notary seemed kind of... loud, if that makes sense. Her whole thing is blending in, so I don't think she'd really be the type to shout at the guard (and it probably wouldn't be effective). She'd be more likely to use her unobtrusive nature to just walk past everyone that's distracted by Big Mac, and then, if a particularly alert pony does happen to see her, to calmly baffle him with a stream of legalize and bureaucratic nonsense until his head is spinning. She wouldn't get shouty.

Glad you enjoyed it.
Thanks for the feedback. I'll definitely keep that in mind as I continue to write her.
It's not a leverage homage if you don't have a good action scene.
>he likes to sing in the shower
>that last line
Oops she got busted, glad to see this story continues now.
Is there nothing Big Mac cannot do?
Well we did already know his singing talents from the Ponytones, and I made him an opera singer in the Cadenceverse as well.

Well, opinion is divided on his ability to cook Risotto
OOoooops. Brick wall with hooves at their twelve.
i enjoyed this very much.
Well it runs in the family if we have any indication what big mac is going to do in the end.
This was a really enjoyable adventure, I just finished watching all of leverage and this helped me get my fix hahaha
I hope this won't be the only job the crew will do. I hope to read more
Well, if they need to team up again, I can think of some idiots that deserve it.
Good Lunaverse story one I really enjoyed. I wonder what story you plan to write next because your work is always very enjoyable to read through.
5511701 still pretty cool though.
I love Leverage and I loved this story. It's a shame you aren't gonna keep going with it. Maybe with the last flim flam episode you might get interested in it again. Who knows? But ya, keep up the good work.
I wanted to ask how they knew the receptionist was attracted to stallions, then I remembered every stallion, mare, griffin, moose, and minitaur are BigMac-sexual
